Carpoxylon Pre Dug

Recommended Posts

We have about 30 Carpoxylon that we have pre dug and ready to go. They are from 8 to 14' and are only $10/ft! They all have new roots and will not skip a beat when transported to your garden.

What a deal crazy considering what a plant this size would have went for 10 years ago.

Another success story, like Wodyetia, illustrating what happens when you get some seed out to select hobbyists and growers instead of locked up in botanical gardens and reserves.

It's difficult to give away nice 15 gal palms over here.

Seeds are still $60 per 10 on RPS though

We can get seed free here. Not at Wodyetia levels yet but soon!

Will these survive for me if I'm right at the cutoff point of being able to grow coconuts?

Zeeth, I got one of Ken's awesome Carpoxylon last summer. My hope is that planted under canopy protection and getting a larger specimen would help it survive our winters. Of course this winter hasn't been that bad but so far, so good--knock wood. I figure that price for a little instant gratification is worth however long I get to enjoy it. If we are threatened with a freeze, I have a kerosene heater to put near it.

Thanks for the info. My parents are trying to buy a house so whenever that happens I'll put one of these on the list of things to install.
